My brother and I each built a mini last weekend for fun. they should be self explanatory from the pictures. they are extremely powerful, I put a piece of tater through a piece of paper at like 2 feet away.
Anyways, mine is the bigger one with a bbq sparker sticking out and my brothers is the smaller one with a sparker stolen from a little lighter attached.
The spray is something I cant brag about enough, it outperforms any hairspray or deodorant I have come across. It also works better than static guard. Its called "3-2-1 Dry!" Salon Nail Dryer. I found it at Walmart in the female section for like 2.50. If you use arasole for propellant, check it out. Its top 3 ingredients are Butane, Propane, and SD Alcohol 40-B, in that order.

Yup, they look nice
That spray is quite interesting.
It leaves no sticky mess right?

Nice little mini's.
I have to try "3-2-1 Dry!" But people might stare watching men buy nail polish dryer...
Is the one with the orange cap a Flintstones vitamin conatainer?
Actually......using a vitiamin container would be smart because they have child lock...hmmm.....ideas....ideas....

haha, yeah, thats a flintstones vitamins container. it does lock nice.
poeple stare when i buy that stuff, but then i tell them its for my feet, if it were for my hands that would be fruity.

ive tried 3-2-1 dry it works well all it leaves is a baby powder smell and makes the sides of the cannon smooth with some sort a oil but gives great power
